The Third Temple Sept. 25, 2022

 

We are ready to build the THIRD TEMPLE!

Sep 20, 2022 The second temple was a miracle of engineering and elevated Jerusalem to a true worship center for all Jews. Herod began construction work on the Temple in the 18th year of his reign, around 19 B.C. To avoid interruption in the Temple service, Herod had all the materials made ready in advance, preparing a thousand wagons to carry the stones and employing 10,000 highly skilled workmen. A thousand priests were divided into those who would be stone masons or carpenters and given special training for this sensitive task. Herod doubled the size of the previous Temple Mount and extended it to the South, West and North. It was a gigantic structure that and a wonder that attracted pilgrims from all over the world. It’s glory did not last long, however, because in AD 70 the Roman’s in retaliation for the Jewish revolt decide to demolish the temple. The Romans ensured that nothing would be left of the original Temple building. Massive stones that Herod put to enlarge the temple complex where now thrown down unto the streets below. For centuries the temple Mount stayed abandoned until the Muslim conquest of the Holy Land. Today the plaza is dominated by two monumental structures originally built after the city's capture in 661 AD. The Dome of the Rock and the Al Aqsa mosque. But what if I tell you that the Jewish dream to rebuild the temple is not over. There are things that are happening currently in Israel and around the world to clear out the way for a New Jewish temple. In this episode, we will talk about those fascinating preparations, the consequences of what it would mean if a new Temple is built and what still needs to happen for it to be completed.
